Bombers make cuts

Kick returner Ramonce Taylor and quarterback James Kilian were among the higher-profile cuts made by Bombers head coach Mike Kelly on Friday afternoon.

Kilian had the worst outing of the four quarterbacks in Wednesday's pre-season win over Hamilton, while Taylor was having a hard time grasping the CFL rules. Kelly mentioned more than once that Taylor still had a long way to go to become a true pro.

Other notable cuts were kicker Dan Giancola, who was attempting a CFL comeback at age 39 but was injured for all of camp, and receiver Justin Surrency, who sparkled in camp but was in tough with three 1,000-yard receivers ahead of him on the depth chart.

The full list of players who were cut today:

LB Johnny Baldwin

DB Darrius Battles

OL Adam Bestard

DB Willie Byrd

DB John Eubanks

K Dan Giancola

DT DeVon Hicks

QB James Kilian

OL Mike Morris

FB Peter Quinney

WR Justin Surrency

KR Ramonce Taylor

The Bombers also announced that holdout defensive back Lenny Walls signed a new contract with the team on Friday and has reported to training camp.
